netgear modemrouter DNG1000 problem help

Hi
My netgear 834G died so replaced it with theone above. Keeps failing to connect or once connected would drop connection after 15/30mins then would not connect. Also I now can't get into ebay to sign in and more often than not would not download the ebay home page. Some websites have no problems at all.
Any suggestions welcome. Tearing my hair out.

Thanks for getting back. Yes that's the one. I have just revived my previous 834G and it's come alive and working but would still like to know why the DGN1000 was not working as it should. Will keep it as spare for the time being.

It's the wireless connection with the DGN1000. AS siad I managed to revive the old 834G and it's working well. Can't understand what the prob is and very much like to know/learn more about it.
The settings are correct1and my laptop is juat a year old, an acer 5552g running wins 7, amd quad core, 8g ram and the wireless adapter is Acer afinity 802 11b/g/n

Login to your trusty DG834G, identify the wireless channel number that it's using and apply the same setting to the DGN1000. In case you don't know, the default address, username and password for both units is 192.168.0.1, admin and password respectively.

Having said all that I somehow doubt that'll fix things as the DGN1000 is a notoriously poor performer especially when it comes to its wireless connection - have a look at the Amazon reviews here and you'll soon see that the majority of purchasers gave it a one star rating. I've also had the misfortune to experience one these models first hand and I could never get the wireless to work reliably either.

If the channel-number change doesn't immediately makes things reliable then the best thing you can do is to return it ASAP and get a full refund.
